An administration group on today did an investigation of Amrapali Sapphire, whose occupants’ dissent on Twitter prompted Mahendra Singh Dhoni venturing down as the realty company’s image envoy prior this month.

The examination denoted the start of a drive in which Noida Authority authorities will visit a lodging society every day to investigate civilities and check consistence with endorsed design arranges, and comes surprisingly close to CM Akhilesh Yadav promising activity against real estate agents not staying faithful to their commitments.

Design arranges have gone under the scanner after the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) discovered extensive scale infringement in Supertech’s Czar venture in Greater Noida and requested that the designer seal 1,009 pads for which authorizations were purportedly not taken.

The Noida Authority investigation group said on Monday that there were a few infringement at Sapphire. “As the occupants had highlighted, we found the quantity of lifts working in Sapphire to be not exactly those in the arrangement. Likewise, fire security measures were not set up,” said S C Gaur, boss draftsman and organizer, Noida. “The venture hasn’t been allowed the finish authentication, however the engineer has given over ownership, an infringement of standards. We have requested that the designer give a course of events to finish of work. They have guaranteed to have the lifts set up in 75 days and completion the parity work in 90 days. We went to another society in Sector 108 and discovered comparable issues,” Gaur included.

On Tuesday, the group will visit Pan Oasis in Sector 70. At present, around 36 consummation testaments are pending with the Authority and 74 lodging activities are under development in different parts of Noida. “We plan to transfer endorsed design anticipates our site,” Gaur said.

Realty firm Supertech has been asked to seal over 1,000 units at a housing project in Greater Noida by local authority GNIDA for allegedly constructing them without approval.

The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority has issued a notice on April 11, 2016 to the realty firm in this regard.

Supertech claimed however that all the 1,853 units which are developed or being developed at the 20-acre housing project ‘Czar’ in Greater Noida are not unauthorised and are “completely safe and legal”.

This is the second time that Supertech has faced such crisis. In April 2014, the Allahabad High Court had ordered demolition of the company’s two 40-storey towers in a Noida housing project. Supertech has challenged the order in the apex court.

The authority had asked the builder to seal all the housing units developed by the company beyond the sanctioned 844 units.

GNIDA warned Supertech of action if the firm failed to seal the extra units in 30 days.

In reply to the notice, Supertech has said that: “As far as the additional units constructed over the said plot, it is submitted that the company vide its letter dated December 23, 2014…has applied for purchasable FAR along with request for increase in population density on the plot and has submitted the revised building plan to accommodate all 1,853 units constructed/under construction.”

The request was made in consonance with the prevailing rules and regulations applicable to GNIDA, it added.

The excess units are well within the permissible limit and fully covered under a notification issued by the UP government on April 4, 2016, Supertech said in its reply.

“Now the company is ready to pay the cost of additional units over and above the 844 units which is permissible as per aforesaid notification of government of Uttar Pradesh,” the company said in its reply.

“As per the building bye-laws, submitted plan shall be deemed to have been approved in 60 days in case no refusal or sanction is given by the Authority. Therefore, the company undertook the construction of additional flats which is legal and tenable under the law,” Arora said.

“Hence there is no unapproved/unauthorised construction of flats undertaken by the company and any requirement of sealing of flats under construction,” he said.

Arora expected the matter to be resolved shortly and said there was no need for buyers to “panic”.

New Delhi: Reliance Defence today said it will enter into a joint venture with Ukraine’s Antonov, makers of AN 32 aircraft in service with the IAF, in the filed of transport aircraft for military and civil uses.

“Reliance Defence Ltd along with Ukraine based State Corporation Antonov have agreed to cooperate on dual version transport aircraft for Military, Para military and Commercial use in India,” the Anil Ambani-led group said in a statement.

The JV proposal comes at a time when India is in the midst of acquiring new transport aircraft and is in the process of upgrading the 105-strong fleet of AN 32, the country’s primary transport aircraft.

There is requirement of more than 500 aircraft in different roles and the market size is expected to exceed Rs 35,000 crore over next 15 years, the Reliance Group said.

In May last year, the government has cleared the lone bid of Airbus-TATA consortium for replacing Indian Air Force’s fleet of ageing Avro transport aircraft for Rs 11,930 crore.

Interestingly, Antanov had stayed away from the bid but later wrote to the Defence Ministry with a proposal to set up a base here.

The IAF’s plan to upgrade the AN 32 aircraft had run into trouble due to Ukraine’s deteriorating relations with the Russia.

It is hoped that if an joint venture is indeed signed and implemented, problems with the upgrade could be resolved.

The upgrade of the aircraft will include air collision avoidance system, ground proximity warning system, satellite navigation system, distance-measuring equipment and new radar among others.

The JV envisages design and manufacture of the medium lift dual use turbofan aircraft in India with transfer of niche technologies.

“This will be located at India’s first integrated Aerospace Park at Mihan, Nagpur. The program valued at over Rs 35,000 crore is estimated to generate employment for over 7,000 people in the primary and secondary industrial sectors in the region,” the statement said.

An agreement was reached between Anil Ambani, Chairman of the Reliance Group and Oleg Gladkovskyi, Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine and the Chairman of the Inter-Agency Committee of Ukraine for Military Technical Cooperation and Export Control Policy on the sidelines of the Defence Expo at Goa.

“Reliance Defence together with…Antonov would jointly address various requirements including 50-80 seat passenger aircraft in its basic configuration and in all its variants such as transport, maritime patrol and other military roles,” the statement said.

Antonov or An class of aircraft have long served the Indian Air Force and Navy for over five decades, the statement said.

“The partnership agreement would provide the benefits of quality and low cost solution for 50-80 seater aircraft through its core competencies,” it said.

The partnership of Reliance Defence and Antonov envisions design of fixed wing military aircraft configured for use in tactical as well strategic roles.

Powered by two turbo fan high fuel efficiency jet engines, the medium lift aircraft is capable of short field runways operating from remote airfields with unpaved surfaces, the statement said.

“In the Indian civil aviation market, this medium category aircraft could effectively plug the gap in regional air transport connectivity to around 350 unused airstrips currently available across the country and is in consonance with the new draft Civil Aviation policy by MoCA,” Reliance said.

Low level tactical missions by this aircraft is aided by modern day avionics and navigation systems powered by fly-by-wire systems in all weather round the clock operations.

The company said India has requirement of over 200 medium lift turbo fan aircraft which is the backbone of all tactical Logistic Transport Support Role (TSR) as well as Route Transport Roles (RTR) of the Air Force, Army and para military forces.

Numerous states said it was “not a decent law” as it makes “even an Indian native foe” by not perceiving his progression rights.

Of the 15-odd states whose agents showed up before the board, half of them raised worries about the Bill, especially its review application which will make invalid and void any exchange of foe property regardless of the possibility that it was done before the new Bill comes into power.

“It applies reflectively to the property of all who left the nation. Regardless of the possibility that their beneficiaries stayed in India and are residents of the nation, the progression law won’t have any significant bearing to them and will have no privilege to such properties.

“Additionally, on the off chance that somebody or more than one persons have as of now purchased such properties in last more than 30 years, every single such exchange will be announced invalid and void.

According to the change Bill, once an adversary property is vested in the Custodian, it might keep on being vested in him as foe property independent of whether the foe, foe subject or foe firm has stopped to be a foe because of reasons, for example, demise and so on.

The legislature, through these proposed alterations, needs to guarantee that the law of progression does not have any significant bearing to foe property; that there can’t be exchange of any property vested in the Custodian by an adversary or foe subject or foe firm and that the Custodian should save the foe property till it is discarded as per law.

The changes are gone for connecting a few provisos to the Act and to guarantee adversary properties don’t return to the foe subject or foe firm.

After taking the homebuyers for a ride long enough, the Amrapali Group seems to have ran out of luck with the homebuyers taking to social media to mobilise support, the brand ambassador Mahender Singh Dhoni exiting as face saver and the political support to the builder deserting.

Amrapali Group, after much-publicised “Mission Possession” has only been diverting the attention of the buyers till the residents of Amrapali’s Saphhire project in Noida lost their patience and went viral on Twitter. They also tagged the brand ambassador Mahender Singh Dhoni in their tweets asking the cricketer to dis-associate himself from the builder.

Residents are complaining about the pending civil and electrical works in the project. The company said it would complete the same in next three months.

Amrapali Group CMD Dr Anil Sharma said, “Sometimes there are so many unforeseen reasons. There are so many force majeure, which are beyond the control of a developer. So, during those periods construction is stopped for two years, three years, four years, five years. Those period can’t be contracted. There are two losses, one is time loss, another is finance loss. We are not burdening that finance loss to our esteemed customers, but time loss we can’t make up. Ultimately, time loss has to be extended.”

As the homebuyers were welcoming the Dhoni’s rebuttal to Amrapali, another cricketer Harbhajan Singh tweeted: “Well done @msdhoni for dropping #Amarpali builders’ brand ambassadorship..they didn’t gave us VILLAS they announce after 2011 worldcup win”.

“At least they should give them houses who paid..may be announcing a villa for us .. was a publicity stunt,” he said in another tweet.

Reacting to Harbhajan’s complaints on social media, Amrapali CMD issued a press statement, “We offered these villas to World Cup winning team as to honour their efforts, for that we did not charge anything. Amrapali Group never denied to handover those villas, nor now.”

“In this duration, cricketers or their representatives did not ask about the status of their villas and also there were some relevant process and formalities need to be done from their end.

“Whenever they will ask us, we will share the required details of their villas with them. I would also like to clarify that the project is in final stage where villas were promised,” Sharma said.

However, it is not just a case of one or two projects of Amrapali Group getting delayed. The homebuyers allege most of their projects are delayed and they are just unresponsive to the buyers.

Over 4,000 buyers of the Group’s Golf Homes project are also the sufferers after the developer delayed the possession by about 15 months and allegedly stalling the construction work.

As if the ire of homebuyers and the celebrity cricketers was not enough, sensing the public mood even the political patronage of Amrapali Group has deserted. Anil Sharma, who contested Lok Sabha Elections on JD(U) ticket in 2014 found his party distancing itself from Dr. Sharma. The party’s General Secretary, K C Tyagi, said, “Anil Sharma for the last Lok Sabha Elections was on the ticket of JD(U), but after 15 days he was an independent candidate.”

Tyagi added, “As a member of the Real Estate Committee, I am on record to say that they (builders) must be prosecuted. I am with the buyers of Amrapali Golf Villas and stern action must be taken against him. Homebuyers must go to the court and they must present their case to the Parliamentarians. From the 25th, Parliament session will start and I am hopeful that entire Parliament, after passing the Real Estate Bill, will stand by the consumers.”

Once a powerful man as an influential builder with connections in cricket to film and politics, it is not just fall from grace for Anil Sharma, but could be termed as self-inflicted disaster. It is a learning curve for the builders who think they are too powerful to take the homebuyers for a ride.

If only the statistics show a real picture then the Residex of National Housing Bank (NHB) shows the market might have offered a modest appreciation, yet Mumbai is a steady real estate market.

The NHB data accessed till March 2015 shows how historically (since 2007) this market has not been witness to any sharp fall in terms of the pricing index.

Of course, on a micro look the trend is location specific and while certain locations have outperformed quite a bit there are other locations that have been hit with price correction.

In the last four quarters, the real data of the said period might not be available with the Residex, what can be vouchsafed at this point of time is the fact that the trend is more or less the same as it has been till march 2015.
